Recently our students took the IELTS test and shared their experiences with us with regards to the Listening module. Their contributions to this lesson are commendable, and the takeaways from this chapter might help you improve your Listening performance.
Our experience suggests that some students who do well in the classroom while practicing the Listening exercises do not have a similar performance in the actual test. In some cases, they have heard and written the right answer, but they have wrongly spelt out the word. The spelling mistakes here play a spoilsport and drag the score down. So, if you are planning to take a test in the near future, please check your spelling of the following words. They are likely to be repeated in the coming tests.
The following is the list of some words reported by our students who took the test in May and June 2019.
✔️a button
